 Is it just me or...?
Hello everyone,
I'm in highschool, sophmore year, and I just noticed that every year younger than me that becomes the new freshmans, become SMALLER and SMALLER. I am not saying this is because of their age, but everyone seems to be shrinking in my area... Is this just my eyes playing tricks on me or is the human race slowly shrinking!

Its because you are getting taller dumbo  You don't really notice because all the people you have seen before are also growing.

It probably just looks like they are becoming smaller.
Human race is slowly growing.

LOL, I get what you fellows are saying, but I am speaking in terms of actuall height per year.
When my grade was in 9th grade, say we were 5"5 normally, (guess)...
The next year the new 9th grade class is only like 5"2-3...
It's slowly going down.

Well, no, I swear that I was not 3 feet in 6th grade, like the people I see. I was actually about 4'11" in 6th grade. They are getting so much shorter, and multiplying by about 10 each year too! I know theres about 400 6th graders, 350 7th, and 300 8th. It's insanity/

Yes, few exceptions, but do you see what I'm seeing! We are going to get smaller and smaller until we are hamsters.

You're 20 and youre a sophmore in high school? That might be a big factor in it...
Anyway I have noticed it too. But then again I have noticed them getting bigger too. So I'm not sure which way theyre going.

As you can guess that was a rushing error of mine, when I was in the hurry to sign-up.
I'll go change that now!

I allways thought that too. I could never have imagined myself that small when I was in the years below me. I allways thought there was a outbreak of dwarfism or something at my school. Haha.

Haha true I know what you mean. You won't see your friends changing in their face or height because you see them everyday. The newcomers in Year 8 is getting smaller when you move to upper. Another, if you don't see your friends for like 3 years, they'll look different
